We’ll talk about their origin story, what their influences are, what they do to hone their talents and their skills to be where they are today. What they feel is not only suffocating the local music scene, but, better yet, what they feel is helping push the local scene into the limelight. Also hear about gigs they’ve played that made an impression on them and why. . . and much more.

Ep 21.5
Jamie Fontaine and the Level - Teaser Clip
From the opening thumping beats of one of the band’s early originals, on their self titled debut album, the blues infused “Home”, you could tell there was something special about this band. The band that has hosted to many to count underground shows, to traveling both coasts of North America, just finished writing 3 songs in NASHVILLE with Malcolm Springer & Jason Schrick, with guidance from Holly Hutchinson and signed under Indie Label STRYKER RECORDS, INC. with Chris Dobry as Manager.
We are currently working with Scott Wilson at Sunshine Studios in Colorado Springs!
The band is growing with these additions and experiences with singer/songwriter Jamie Fontaine. His inspiring vocals are limitless and dynamic, and his lyrics leave you thinking long after the song has ended. The rhythmic duo of Colby Peters and Joseph Weise drive the pulse of this band with the fury of a tornado to the subtlety of a teardrop...and back again, seemingly effortlessly. In late 2019 they met and later added Lead Guitarist Tim Kempen. He added guitar leads on new songs and created parts for others. They mesh seamlessly with Kempen's electrifying guitar work, as if the band has but one heartbeat.
Stay Along for the ride and we truly appreciate your support!

Blaine Schultz
Blaine Schultz writes about music and people for the Shepherd Express. He plays with The Aimless Blades and The Riverwest Aces. The Aimless Blades began as a recording project by guitarist Blaine Schultz. After leaving the locally popular Mona Lisa Overdrive in the mid-’90s, Schultz released a string of cassette albums with a floating lineup of musicians under the Blades’ banner.
About 20 years ago, a steady gigging band coalesced around Schultz. The lineup has been consistent since Richardson joined six years ago. “Everyone in the band is a huge music fan,” Schultz says. “But for me, Bob Dylan, the Velvet Underground and Hank Williams were the people who developed this music the best. They’re way ahead of me on the road, but I’m on that same road.”
